S'il Suffisait D'aimer

Songs

"For me, Celine tells, Zora does not only represent Algeria but also all those women from all those countries where they just don't have the chance to be free and happy."
The lyrics puts in light the example of a woman who fights for her and for the others, who resists to the Read more... insults, who keeps her dignity in spite of the difficulties.
With her steady and frank voice, Celine expresses all these feelings, those of the revolt but also those of the hope.

Celine's voice is soft, full of indulgence and a little homesicknessly.
"I, Celine admits, I think that people don't really change, and when Jean-Jacques presented me this song, I was very thrilled, because, every day, when I travel, when I'm on stage, when I make up, when I put high Read more... heels, when I tape a show, it's sure that there's always that "thin little girl" who comes from Charlemagne, who is shy but who wonders, who wants to travel the world, but she's lean and quite fragile... She's there every time."
"Our childhood is full of feelings and sometimes it's hard, but singing it, it's wonderful!"

"Thanks, Celine wrote in the booklet, to Erick Benzi to have shared with me this great emotional moment which was Papillon".
On a slow tempo, Erick compares butterflies as lovers, and Celine's voice rises with the burden like a butterfly about to fly.

"I think I can only write songs, Jean-Jacques Goldman tells, on December 5, 2001, in the newspaper Le Soir (Belgium). I tried to write a musical. I started it but then I made it as an album, Rouge. Then I began to write another, fortunately I didn't release it, because right after, the movie Read more...Titanic was launched. What remains stands on Celine Dion's second album with me, it is entitled Sur le même bateau. I didn't want to adapt a big story like The ten Commandments or Notre-Dame but to write one,
a script. And I found out how much I wasn't able to write a story with bounces. I'm less passionated to write musics on lyrics I didn't write."
The lyrics insist about the common tragic event, lived by all the passengers, richs or poors.

The music and the voice are sweet and soothing.
"When Jean-Jacques sang in front of us 'S'il suffisait d'aimer', Celine tells, Rene and I, we cried like babies."
"If there were one track to choose on this album, Celine reveals, it would be without hesitating, 'S'il Read more... suffisait d'aimer'... because for me, it's like 'Quand on n'a que l'amour' by Brel, it's strong."
"Sometimes, Celine follows, the technique is perfect and the emotion is not there, so well it's not really good, we have to coordinate both at the same time, it's difficult, but I think I almost managed with 'S'il suffisait d'aimer'."
